Need help with finding long term suppliers

Maiwand - You're going to have to target scrap yards and recyclers themselves...places that accumulate these. Also you will have to offer substantially more than what they are already getting out of their scrap. Plus, you will more than likely have to pay upfront. Places that deal in large volumes already have a system in place to sell the scrap, so there has to be a reason to change. You should be willing to pay on delivery for the material especially since this company is out of the country. If you are wanting to pay for the material some time after it arrives at the company you are working for, you are essentially asking the seller to extend you a line of credit. Why would they do this?
